Installing Fedora 18 TC3

For the first time in a long while, I copied TC4 64 bit DVD to a jump drive,
then installed with the check media option.  Sometime after setting the root
password I returned to the machine to discover a black screen with working
cursor.  The keyboard locked up and cursor froze when I tried Ctrl-Alt-F2.
Booting resulted in grub rescue.

I then did a pxeboot install using a local rsync of 
mirrors1.kernel.org::fedora/development/18/x86_64/os
That install was nominal.  I did a cmp on the jump drive and the .iso 
file and found no differences.
(The .iso files passed the sha256sum test.)

The good news: the copy of Windows XP on that HD is still alive.
